HI, I'M CHRISTIE
THE FOUNDER
Let's get to know each other on a deeper level.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
What began as a personal journey—from running a salon to navigating burnout, family illness, and infertility challenges into motherhood—evolved into a deeper calling. After my dad’s cancer diagnosis and my own struggle with psoriasis, I turned to natural remedies—slow, gentle, and healing. What started as body oils and bath soaks made in my carport quickly grew into a bigger vision: to create products that are effective while nourishing both skin and soul, and treading lightly on the earth.
I created this brand to slow down, reconnect, and honour your body with ingredients that are kind, conscious, and effective. We believe skincare should support your natural rhythms—not mask them—and that confidence comes from care, not chemicals.
Whether you're in the chaos of motherhood, recovering from stress/illness, or simply craving stillness, this is your sign to slow and redefine the importance of your values.
You could say I took the unconventional path—I left school at 15 and dove straight into a Diploma of Beauty Therapy. That decision sparked a lifelong love for skin, and I spent the next 16 years working as an aesthetician, learning deeply about how the skin functions.
Over time, my curiosity grew beyond the treatment room and some major life events happened which was the turning point of a more lowtox lifestyle. I completed a diploma in natural skincare formulation, blending my passion for holistic wellness with science and purpose.
In 2023, I took another big step—we bought a cosmetic chemist into our team. Working alongside her has been one of the most transformative experiences in my journey so far, expanding my knowledge and allowing us to create high-performance, plant-based skincare backed by data, not just trends.
Every product we develop now is a blend of intuition, expertise, and evidence—all made with care, and always with your skin and the planet in mind.
Our goal is to inspire a slower, more conscious way of living—through products that honour natural beauty, nurture wellbeing, and connection. We’re here to create more than skincare. We’re building a community that values simplicity, motherhood, and mindful choices—one small ritual at a time.
At The Bod Society, we believe that skincare should be more than just a routine - it should be a conscious act of self-care that nurtures both the body and the planet. Our philosophy is rooted in sustainability, inspired by the earth, and driven by a passion for natural, wholesome ingredients.
We are committed to creating skincare products that are kind to both your skin and the environment, using only the highest quality, ethically sourced ingredients that are free from harmful chemicals and toxins. Our aim is to bring you a range of products that not only deliver visible results, but also work in harmony with your body's natural processes to promote balance, health, and vitality.
We believe that every person has the right to feel confident and beautiful in their own skin, without compromising their health or the health of our planet. By embracing the power of nature and the principles of sustainability, we strive to create a community of empowered individuals who share our vision for a brighter, more conscious future. Join us on this journey to discover the beauty of natural skincare, inspired by the earth.
The Long Story
As a young girl, you would often find me tinkering with old cars in my dad's shed or running barefoot around our hills property. I wasn't exactly the girly-girl type. But as I entered my teenage years, I felt a pull towards the beauty industry. My mother suggested I pursue a diploma in beauty therapy, and I found that I was completely enamored with it. At the age of 19, I took a leap and purchased a boutique beauty salon in the hills of Perth. Working tirelessly to build my business, I pushed myself to the limit.
But after several years of running the salon, my mental and physical health began to suffer, and I developed a skin condition called psoriasis. I knew I needed to take a break and focus on myself. So I sold the salon and began a more slow paced lifestyle working from home.
In 2018, my dad was diagnosed with cancer, and I felt helpless as he began his treatment. His skin became itchy and sore as a side effect of the treatments, That's when I discovered the power of holistic remedies, like essential oils and botanicals. I started creating a body oil and bath soak to soothe his skin.
Although I still loved providing beauty services, my dream had always been to create my own natural skincare range. After years of putting it off, I finally took the leap and started my own brand. My mission is to create products that bring people together, filled with natural, vegan-friendly ingredients. I want to change an industry that's overflowing with plastic-covered, chemical-filled skincare, and educate people on eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives.
This brand has grown as I have, from maiden to mother through our IVF journey to holidays overseas showing us there needs to be a change in the industry with single use plastics.
Through it all, I've learned the importance of self-care and taking care of my family. My journey has led me to a more gentle, soft, and feminine approach to life, one that's focused on holistic wellness and family-oriented living.
